About

Our Vision

Our vision for Pastime Public House is simple: create a high-quality experience in a hometown, comfortable environment, featuring fresh cuisine and out-of-this-world service. Our backgrounds in the industry have enabled us to see the many positives of the business. We have based our ideas on these experiences, and have come to the conclusion that a successful restaurant should strive to achieve those stated goals. Pastime Public House will deliver on all of these aspects.

Our Menu

The menu at Pastime Public House will be based on local San Diego ingredients. Our chefs will create a fixed menu featuring dishes with an emphasis on quality produce, meats, poultry, and fish. There will also be daily specials that will be dependent on the seasonal selection.

Our food will be casual comfort but with an upscale San Diego twist. It will prominently feature the bounty of local markets, including using the Farmer's Market in Scripps Ranch.

On tap we want all local, all the time. San Diego is the beer capital of the world and we want to celebrate that. We'll keep your local favorites on tap and rotate seasonal beers for you to experience.

Our cocktail list will feature a variety of different styles and spirits. It will be ever-changing depending on season but our goal is to have something for everyone.

Our Service

Service, service, service. It is so important to us. We want you to walk into Pastime Public House feeling welcomed and taken care of, as a part of our family. Pastime is a place to relax, to reminisce, and to feel comfortable.You can expect to receive service that is always above and beyond your typical dining out experience. We will do everything to ensure that your Pastime interaction will be the absolute best it can be, at all times.

In the Heart of San Diego County

Scripps Ranch is conveniently located along the I-15 corridor in the heart of the north county region of San Diego. Growing up in Scripps Ranch, Patrick experienced the community as family - supportive to its residents, neighbors, schools, and local businesses.

Pastime Public House shares the core values that make Scripps Ranch the community it is, which is why we feel this is the perfect location for us.

Our Team

Our management team has over 30 years of working in the industry in all aspects of the restaurant. Pat and Josh will run Pastime relying on their years of management experience. In addition to Pat and Josh, the culinary staff will be led by two extraordinary chefs with a background in running restaurant kitchens in San Diego County. This includes Michael Fehl, who was a part of opening the Nolan Rooftop Lounge in Downtown San Diego.

It's All in the Name

The name Pastime is the result of a deliberate, five-year thought process. Once suggested, we loved Pastime for a number of reasons. The first being that the definition completely captures our mission purpose: pas·time /pasˌtīm/ noun: something that serves to make time pass agreeably; a pleasant means of amusement, recreation, or sport. This encapsulates what we are about and what we think of when we envision our restaurant.

We also love Pastime's underlying baseball theme. If you know us, you know that baseball (and the Padres in particular) play a big part in our lives. With that in mind, baseball is integrated into our decor and theme of the restaurant. We invite you to look for the nuances of the baseball theme as we give a nod to our love for America's Pastime.

Pastime Public House is going to be more than just a restaurant. It is going to be a place to gather with family and friends, cultivate business relationships, and enjoy high-quality food and service.
